Sending request from another extension?

[theIDinside]

Is it possible to send a request, to cpptools from my own extension? I want it to send a "reverse-step" request, but there is absolutely no documentation on how to do it. in rr, we want to step backwards, and it uses gdb MI, so it works to type in -exec reverse-step in the debug console but that is horribly, just horribly unergonomic - so I'm trying to find ways to create an action that sends a request to cpptools to do that for me (since it's also defined in the protocol, if I'm not mistaken).

If that's not possible, is there any possibility to copy & paste that into the debug console using some command?

@WardenGnaw Do you know?

You will want to look at the DebugAdapterTracker APIs.

This question is better suited for the VS Code team since that is an interface they provide extensions to call into debug adapters.
